The problem, as you have been told several times, is that maintainers
are very busy people and don't necessarily have time to deal with
mechanical replacement trivia like this.

The point is that Jiri Kosina takes that burden on himself to verify and
submit the changes like this, so something like this should go through
him.

Abusing people who do real work, particularly when you manifestly do
